Well the search is a bit tiring to use (unless I missed out something), is it not possible to put exact words search option like in other search sites ? like when u use seach exact words cause I try searching & it gives loads of results most of them are irrelevant cause the search engine picks any of the search words & searches...

@wevek, I never have a problem findinf stuff with the search and indeed there was even a little competion early in the year where a few people posted somethign they wanted me to find, and I did!
most search engines have the idiosynchracies and when you have a little free time its worth playing around a bit withe some searches to figure them out.
give me an example of something you have had a problem with?

Thanks for the reply...I guess its not unworkable but when we have the exact words match its much easier so that if the exact words in any post dont match it shows nothing...atleast for the www portion if not for html light...

if I want to be sure all the words I specifiy are found I always use the + in front of each word
for example +T610 +message +alert
perhaps this is what you are looking for?

I must say I've never had much joy using this search function. It returns millions of results and it's like looking for a needle in a haystack. |

btw, if you prefer google, you can always do a google site search
in the google search box just type:
site:www.esato.com search-criteria
(where search-criteria is what you are looking for)
I have done that on the odd occassion too

It certainly isnt the most refined search engine around.

Sometimes SEARCH ENGINES cannot find the very EXACT thing that we are looking for . . . specially if the images/topics are LOCALLY based-subject! |

Searching by date on wap is the most useless thing ever. Not so bad searching by rating though. Oh and i always used the + thing on the web just in case.

I've tried a few times to search on this site, ended up frustrated on most of the occasions, I wish the search was more like google. |

Why is it that when I try SEARCHING for things at times here at Esato, I find the GOOGLE logo/name/what have you  Has Esato tied-up with Google in it's search feature? |
